My research was right. You *can't* mix Unix and VMS style include
paths on VMS. It will just dumbly concatinate them.
CC/DECC /include=[.include]
Result: [.include]parrot/parrot.h *wrong*
CC/DECC /include="./include"
Result: ./include/parrot/parrot.h *right*
Perl5 simply avoids ever using '#include "foo/bar.h"' syntax except in
one instance (SDBM_File) where the include directory is the cwd, so it
works by luck.
So this patch gets VMS past Configure and it immediately vomits
because of a syntax error in the descrip.mms
